What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

I realized today that even close loves ones cannot be trusted with my thoughts and feelings about my trauma.

I feel the same, I'm very open with my counsellor. He can help me understand my thoughts and feelings and guide me through them. To help me come to terms with them. He is also unshockable by the strength of my feelings.

I've shared some with my H but have held back. I think it is because he would not know how to cope with my thoughts and also because I want to protect him.

I can't think of the words I want to say but hopefully you understand. I think it is a great step forward to make that appointment.

It can't possibly be normal to go from feeling and living well for days to suddenly being triggered and thinking a whole range of negative final things about oneself. Naturally, when this happens and I start thinking sh'tty, I start feeling sh'tty, and that's how I feel. This morning I feel miserable, paranoid, hurt, unworthy, guilty, depressed and exhausted.

I don't know how this happens but it does. I understand and am somewhat in the same place. Sending you good wishes

Disconnected. Like this new mode of recovery with the potential for positivity, change and success from my struggles is throwing me off the spinning wheel.. like I'm... scared? maybe.
 
Ahhh KP, I am with you today. I don't understand it either and really hate roller coasters. Hang in there and I will try and do the same. You are not alone....linking arms! ((((KP))))
 
Today I am very tired and will prolly :sleep: take a nap at some point, it won't help my being tired that much because I have CFS, but it is the best thing I can do to take care of myself right now. Emotionally I feel happy and light-hearted, but will feel even better once I take care of the physical stuff.:)
 
Amazed and relaxed.

It is amazing just what some sun and a bit of gardening can do to brighten up my husband. 48 hours ago he was really down, now he is looking and feeling so much better, better than he has done for a long time.

More sun tomorrow, so back out and do a bit more. We can now sit out in comfort and enjoy the sun and fresh air again.
